EX-10.1 2 ex10-1.htm EX-10.1 Exhibit 10.1 SECOND AMENDMENT TO LOAN AGREEMENT AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE This Second Amendment to Loan Agreement and Second Amendment to Senior Secured Convertible Note (this “Amendment” ) is entered into as of July 31,
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
This 8-K reports a second amendment dated July 31, 2026 that (1) accommodates missed minimum installment payments and a missed registration filing deadline, (2) reschedules remaining minimum installment payments, (3) increases the ATM waterfall distribution percentage to the lender from 80% to 90%, and (4) imposes a new SEC registration statement filing deadline of August 31, 2026 with effectiveness by September 11, 2026.
Market read
For traders, the actionable element is the renegotiated debt and ATM economics after missed payments, plus hard SEC registration deadlines that can trigger default if missed.
What to watch
Key economic terms (amendment rate, restructuring premium, remaining installment schedule, and exact ATM distribution mechanics) are only partially visible in the excerpt; those details could materially change dilution and near-term liquidity risk.
Background
CDT previously entered a loan agreement and issued a senior secured convertible note in June 2026, then amended and restated terms at the end of June.
Ticker impact
CDT entered a second amendment to its loan and senior secured convertible note, rescheduling missed installment payments and increasing the lender’s ATM waterfall to 90%.
Near-term downside bias is likely as the amendment implies prior payment/registration slippage and increases dilution/cash-flow pressure via the 90% ATM waterfall and registration obligations.
The 8-K discloses a material definitive agreement tied to missed payments and a covenant/registration deadline reset, plus a higher ATM distribution percentage to the lender, which typically increases financing overhang and reduces equity optionality.
Market effects
Highlights common distressed-convertible/ATM restructuring mechanics (rescheduled installments, revised waterfall, extended registration deadlines) that can affect how investors price similar microcap convert structures.
No clear regional spillover beyond US microcap credit markets.
Limited; the transaction is company-specific and lender-specific.
Counterpoint
The lender did not accelerate or declare an event of default for the accommodated matters, which could be read as a willingness to extend runway rather than a terminal credit event.
